Book Summary:
Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis is a comprehensive treatment of statistical theory and methods for spatial data analysis, employing a model-based and frequentist approach that emphasizes the spatial domain. The volume delivers an up-to-date treatment of semivariogram estimation and modeling and spatial analysis in the spectral domain, as well as a thorough analysis of spatial regression, covering linear models with uncorrelated errors, linear models with spatially-correlated errors and generalized linear mixed models for spatial data and succinctly discussing Bayesian hierarchical models. It concludes with a review of simulation, non-stationary covariance and spatio-temporal processes. |
